Game Description:¶
Everyone is both a tagger and a rescuer.
All players run around the room and can tag anyone. When someone is tagged, the tagger can "enchant" them into one of four circus roles: an acrobat, a juggler, a clown, or a ringmaster.
The acrobat performs a physical movement, like jumping jacks. They can be freed when another player stands next to them and bows together with them.
The juggler mimes juggling. They are freed from their enchantment when another player stands facing them and they mime throwing "balls" back and forth to each other.
The ringmaster cheerfully calls out, "Welcome, everyone!" They are freed when someone crawls through their legs.
The clown stands sadly, pretending to cry. They can only be freed if someone makes them laugh, for example, by making funny faces.
